The 13th SS Mountain
Division was formed in March 1943 from Moslems from the
Bosnia-Herzegovina region of Croatia with a core of German
troops from the 7th SS-Freiwillingen-Gebirgs-Division
Prinz Eugen. The distinctive collar insignia was introduced
on April 30th 1943. Of Note: It is believed that SS-Obergruppenführer
Gottlob Berger came up with the design of the collar
tab and the name Handschar which refers to the scimitar
carried for centuries by Turkish police in the Balkan
region. |
